A Decision Against Bank Directors Az

A Decision Against Bank Directors At
firmed by the Supreme Court.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, June lS.-An I'M
portant decision has been rendered by the
Supreme Court i'll a bank case which has
been in the courts for several years.
Gardner Case was a depOsitOr in the
Bunker Hill Bank, at Bunker Hill, Ill.
The bank failed while holding his deposits,
and he brought suit against the directors
individually to recover, setting up the
claim that if deposits were received when
the directors, by exercising due diligence,
might have known that the bank was in
solvent, they were legally liable for the
deposits.
The Circuit Court of Macoupin county
gave Judgment in favor of Case, and the
defendants appealed to the Appellate
Courts, which affirmed the decision of the
court below. The case was then carried
to the Supreme Court, which again affirms.
The opinion declares the following doc
trine: FIRST, that the directors of bank
are trustees for the depOsitors as well as
for the stockholders; second, that they are
bound to the observance of ordinary care
and diligence, and are hence liable for in
iuries resulting from its non-ObseTvance.

EXPRESS ROBBERY.
TEXAS BANDITS CAPTURE A TRAIN.
Between Eight and Ten Thousand Dollars
Taken.
PASSENGERS RUDELY AWAKENED,
One Of the BOldsSt RObberieS o.
Record.

Houston, Tex, June 1s.-One Of the
most daring train robberies that has ever
occurred in Texas was perpetrated at 1:SO
o'clock this morning, short distance this
side of Schulenburg, on the Southern Pa
cific Railway.
As the train drew mp at the station two
men with drawn revOlvers mounted the
engine, covered the engineer and forced
him to pull the train to the open prairie, a
few hundred yards to the east, where a fire
was burning, and around which stood
eight or ten men, all armed with Winches-
ter rifles.
The two robbers on the engine stood
guard over the man at the throttle, while
the Others went through the mail, express
and passenger coaches.
Nearly all the passengers were asleep
and unawares of what was going on until
they were aroused by the robbers. The
first man tackled by them was Mr.. w. N.
Newburger, whom they struck on the head
with revolver and secured from him SIS
in cash, several diamonds and a gold watch
valued at about $1,000.
Lou Mayer, of Cincinnati, was relieved
of $35. K. L. Armistead, of New York,
gave up $50. He had larger amount of
money with him which was hid in the
sleeping car. A gentleman from Mexico,
whose name could not be ascertained, lost
$4OO. All the passengers were relieved OF
what immediate valuables they possessed,
and it is difficult to form any estimate of
the amount of money and jewelry secured.
The amount, however, is reckoned atabout
5000.
Wells, Fargo & COmpany's express car
was also gone through, but the amount of
money taken is not yet known. No mail
route agent was on the train, but the
through mail pouches in the express car
were all cut open and their contents ap-
propriated.
The total amount secured by the robbers
is placed at S., 900 or $40, 900, but when a
careful revision OF the matter is made the
figures may be changed. There is no
doubt but that considerable doodle" was
secured. The whole country is aroused
and in arms. Several posses have gone in
search of the robbers.

OF THE DEAD PAST.
Imperialism Cannot BE Resurrected in
the Mexican Republic.

Imperialism Cannot BE Resurrected in
the Mexican Republic.
CITY OF MEXICO, June 1S-lt is now
believed that the publication OF the inten-
tions of the Conservative party concerning
Don Carlos, of Spain, has disconnected
their plans, and it is now doubted if the
Spanish pretender will come to Mexico,
even next year, as he has promised to do.
Especial significance is attached by the
Conservative papers to the manner IN
which Miguel MiramOn, a son OF the ofll-
Ger of the same name who was shot at
Oueretaro with Maximilian, has been re-
reiyed on his return from France. The
National, one of the most important organs
of the remnant of the Imperial party, pub
fishes long interview with MiramOn, in
which his views on public topics is given
Mirarnon. has passed his life in Europe and
is not at all familiar with Mexican affairs
but the National says he was very open in
his opposition to American influences in
Mexico, and his views generally coincide
with those of the Clerical OF Conservative
papers. When it is stated that interviews
with public men are not customary IN tue
Mexican press and that the son OF distin-
guished general is not necessarily an inn
portant person in this country, where dis
tiBguished Generals and their sons are nu-
merous, it will readily be seen that unus-
ual Importance is attached to MiramOn's
opinions
Ofcourse, if the Conservatives desire TO
make thisyo gentleman their leader,
as appears to be their intention, they can
easily do so, for the place is not one very
much sought after; but the old Imperial
party is q thing Of the past in Mexico.
| Nobody can resurrect it-nOt even the son
of the distinguished Miramon. Liberals
laugh at the impotent efforts of the Cleri-
cal newspapers to give Importance to their
party, and say that If they find leader,
then they will have to find the party.

1 WILD AND EXCITING TUMBLE.
II VIII be Taken Back to St. Louis and Again
Started.

ST. LOUIS, June tS.-The World and
Post Dispatch balloon attained a height OF
16, 900 feet above the surface Of the earth
yesterday at $40 p. N, according to the
markings of the instruments of United
States Signal Service Officer Hazen, who
was one of the four in the car Of the
balloon. This is the highest on record in
America. At this point the thermometer
marked 81 degrees Fahrenheit, Core
spondent DUffy says it seemed very cold,
coming from heat 95 degrees in the shade
an hour before. Their ship left the earth
as if reluctant to depart but once
on its voyage upwards it gained
speed rapidly and was quickly
AMONG THE FLEECY CLOUDS
which partially Obseured the earth as n
thick veil.
Doughty is photOgraphing the earth,
Duffy is writing his sketch. Hazen looks
upfrOm his instruments and sees Moore
helpless, the loss of blood from his injury
having rendered him senseless.
Hazen sings out Were going too fast. !"
There is much excitement, but it calms in
minute, for the instrument records o
falling.
Again the Signal officer gives warning,
1--WE are falling dreadfully," and tOsses
out handful of circulars. They shoot
upwards. Moore, half aroused, realized
fthe peril and calls all hands to drop bal
last.
The sand falls scarcely faster than the
car and the earth seems to fly upward, and
rivers, fields, houses spread out as vast
map, growing terribly each minute.
Moore sings out, Something wrong,
boys, if we don't stop her we are lost. " A

madly; 700 and the drag rope touches the
earth; 600 and the check is perceptible.
At 400 feet
THE BALLOON SKINS ALONG,
the 300 feet OF drag rope resting on the
earth gave the relief. More ballast was
thrown out and the air ship again ascend
ed, this time to 5000 feet. The aronaut
then noticed that the bag was saggIng
and announced that landing must
be made, when withing few hundred
feet of land, the drag rope skinned along
the earth, making tram for four miles,
and in its wake followed a crowd of natives.
Several times they caught the rope, and
were hurled roughly to the ground. At
Walter Palms farm, seven miles from
Centralia, Ill, his sturdy wife gave the
drag rope half dozen turns around an ap-
pie tree and brought the monster
up with jerk. The wind
caught the folds OF the balloon
and it scared like kite. For an hOnr tn e
farmers tugged at the rope, and when the
eronaut pulled the rip cord, to his amaze
ment he found it already loose, and this
was the cause OF the fearful fall, so nearly
disastrous to the occupants, OF the air ship
